The Historian
Elizabeth Kostova
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Atmospheric and respectful
+ A literary novel, not just a thriller
+ Entertaining
It is hard to believe this is a first novel, so successfully has Elizabeth Kostova captured the atmosphere of the original novel. It is written in a twin narrative by father and daughter, always a voyage of discovery backwards through time via research, documents and letters, left by those who went ...

No Country for Old Men (Vintage International)
Cormac McCarthy
Vintage, 2007
The Coin Has No Say
+ I saw the movie first but really enjoyed the book
+ Great writing
Cormac McCarthy has a unique and memorable writing style. What you read stays with you because it takes a little effort to internalize it. His storytelling is largely symbolic, as well. If you can read what's between the paragraphs, you'll get the rest of the story.
McCarthy has carved out a ...

The Last Patriot: A Thriller
Brad Thor
Atria Books, 2008
Spellbinding
+ Kept Me Interested
This is my first Brad Thor Book. It is by far the best book I have read since Noble House. Thor has the ability to intertwine history with fiction and produces a most riveting read. I especially enjoyed reading Chapter 16 about the Barbary Pirates. I remember my High School history book ...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Loved the whole series
+ The best way to end the series
I really liked the whole series and I'm sad that it's over. I spent more time just reading and enjoying it than picking it apart like other reviews. What's relaxing about trying to find mistakes in the book instead of just reading?

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel
David Wroblewski
Ecco, 2008
Devastatingly Powerful
+ Great Writing
To reduce this book to simply a re-telling of Hamlet would be to minimize the emotional finesse of this writer. Each word, each chapter, each perspective curled its hand around my heart, refusing to release its grip. Wrobleski is not only a great storyteller but an elegant writer.
I fell in ...
